Is Capital Punishment necessary? What is death penalty? Death penalty is when a state or the government issues the punishment of execution to some one who has committed a crime. It has always been one of the most highly debated issues in the United States. Many Americans are against the capital punishment or commonly knows as the death penalty because they fear its too expensive or there are religious reasons to oppose the death penalty or some other reasons.

Most people aren't worried about the life after committing crimes because they know that the laws aren't strict enough to make them to stop committing crimes. To these people, laws don't hold them back from doing what they want to do. Capital punishment is mainly used for murderers and other serious criminals dangerous to our society. People who oppose the capital punishment clearly don't feel the pain and the trouble the victims and their families has gone through. So, is capital punishment necessary? Yes, capital punishment deters crime and gives closure to families of the victim. As noble American citizens, it is our responsibility to eliminate as much crimes and criminals as we can from our country. People may commit crime for fun or if they don't have any other choice. For example, a person may steal bread from a grocery store because he is broke, that simply doesn't mean he should be put on capital punishment.

These are the people that should be suffering the pain of going through death penalty. The most important reason to have death penalty is because it causes deterrence or the belief that a
